the brilliancy, steadiness or durability of the lamp occurred. The method of regulating the supply of electricity at the central station was explained in detail, as was also the electric motor ; the latter was made to pump water and run a sewing machine with only as much electricity as was necessary to give out an illumination of the brilliancy of an ordinary gas jet INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS. To illustrate, Mr. Edison simply attached the wires of the motor to an electric lamp, disconnecting the latter. The rapid changes from light to power and from power back again to light, attracted much attention and elicited not a little admiration. The method of producing the current, the mode of measurement of the electricity consumed, and the manner of connecting the wires and the other incidental details were practically illustrated. The simple method of prepariug the horseshoe filament attracted much attention. At one of the tables in the laboratory an assistrant sat with a small punch in his hand punching from little pieces of cardboard the little horseshoes. Another assistant then placed cmraM 1 of a time in nn irnn mnilld five inches owvviai ww m wn?*v ?u mw - ? square apd placed the latter in the furnace. - At the expiration of a little more than an hour, the mould was taken out and the carbonized papers shown. At this stage they are quite fragile, and it is only after being subjected to the action of the electric current that they become reasonably strong. The vacuum pumps were kept working, and hundreds witnessed the method of obtaining the vacuum in the bulbs of the lamp. The wires leading from the generators to the various lamps were followed in all their connections. The^ were ordinary copper wires of about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. REGULATING THE CURRENT. The regulation of the current was carried pr on in the lower part *of the laboratory, a young man by the aid of a small wheel turning off the current to any degree desired. Attached to all the chandeliers, which are of a pattern frequently used, were screws, by the turning of which the light could be turned on or off as readily as gas. The centre of attraction during the exhibition was Edison himself, who was attired in a rough suit of working clothes. For hours he was surround ed, first by one throng theu by another, Aud he found it almost impossible to get away. Many had come in the expectation of seeing a dignified, elegantly dressed person, and were much surprised to find him a simple ^ young man attired in the homeliest manner, using for his explanations not high sounding, technical terms, but the plainest and simplest language. The skeptics were severe in their cross-questioning, but to all their interroga tories as to expense, amount of horse power consumed, proposed method of working and all other details, he gave prompt, simple aud direct answers, which were readily understood and always convincing. When argued with that the gas companies could reduce the price of gas much lower than it was at present and make a profit, thus successfully competing with the electric light, he referred to the electric motor to be used in connection with * his system, pointing out that even if gas and electricity cost exactly the same to produce, the electric motor could make a vast difference in favor of electricity, insomuch as the plan of the later would be kept in use nearly all day and night?in the day-time furnishing power, in the night time furnishing illuminationwhile the gas was serviceable for only four or five hours every night, being idle throughout the day; but he insisted that without the electric motor, gas could not be produced nearly as cheap as electricity under any circumstances. Among the visitors present were several gas company officials aud electricians, who subjected the system to a close examination, Edison ordering every facility to be given * them for making all the tests they required. All the.'visitors seemed satisfied . that Edison had actually solved the problem of practical household illumination by electricity. Try it, for it never disappoints. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

Jn Hoe Signo Vinces. A NEW YEAR'S PARAGRAPH. "SPEAK good of the dead" is an old adage, full of charity to those who have "crossed the River" and whose voices cannot be heard in their own defence. The strict observance of this adage, however, would seal the lips and paralyze the pen of the Historian, and the major part of the lives of many of the illustrious as well as the obscure who have "gone before" would never be written or spoken. 1879 is in the last throes of dissolution, and ere this meets the eye of many of the "dear readers" of the York Drug Store Paragraphs, it will have "shuffled off its mortal coil" and lie in the cold embrace of the King of Terrors. How shall we speak of this departed year? In justice, we would Bay with the Irishman, <1 11 1.1 i- ?* ?> Tf has haan nssentiallv a "SII1I&1 1 UIUUIU HI l?. * ? year of booms and extremes, many articles of commerce bavins touched the highest and lowest points in price, that they have done in the last decade. In the main, it has been a successful year to all classes, and perhaps we could not wish?keeping in the bounds of moderation and probability?the friends and patrons who have sustained and stood by us in all the years that we have been Proprietor of the York Drugstore, better than many returns of the prosperity of the past year. In the homes of some of our friends sorrow has brooded, and bereavement, like a pall, shut out the sunlight of Hope and Joy for a season. To all those we offer j)ur heartfelt sympathy, trusting that brighter skies may be in store for them in the future. n Soliciting from our friends and the public generally, a continuance of the pleasant business relations and intercourse of the'past, I am very respectfully, JNO. 0.
